Stress

Crashing weight
Pushing down upon my shoulders
Bending my back
Putting pain behind my eyelids
Temples pounding
Hands shaking
Like Atlas with his load
Burdened
Chained up to worry
Silent waves encroaching upon me
Pushing down my throat
Flooding my lungs
Drowning in unpleasantness of my own creation
Silent crying alone in the dark
Tears that threaten at any moment
Fleeting moments of peaceful rest
Only to be squashed by
Crushing
Ruining
Overwhelming
Stress.
